Frank,
"Failed to contacg GUI server is symptomatic of mvprelay not being reachable from the MVP. When you're testing, make sure you disable your Windows based Haupauge SW or just unplug the Windows box from the network. Secondly, check that you're not running firewall SW on your linux box such as IPchains or IPtables that is blocking access to the required ports on the Linux box. Finally, your tftpd should be able to log activities so you can tell if its receiving a request to pull down the dongle.
One question, if you use your Hauppauge server and replace the Hauppauge dongle with the mvpmc dongle can you boot it or at least telnet to the MVP once it appears to have downloaded it?
Cheers...
Sergio
